Nothing but Karma for what they did with the NFL contract

Might as well dust off EABIG for NBA Street.

Yup most definitely karma. NFL is stupid for signing over exclusive rights to EA for Madden when they could have double their profits if they had allowed 2k to make another football game alongside Madden. EA probably did the exclusive NFL contract because 2k was gaining steam w/NBA 2k.

True and if I remember right NFL 2k was $19.99 too. They been having that contract and been renewing it.

Competition brings innovation.

NFL can easily shut it down if they want to so they have some culpability in all this too

Also Madden is hot trash as well.

Yeah I bought Madden 15 the year before '16 dropped and paid $70 for the ultimate edition and shit was garbage and I got rid of it. Up to that point, I hadn't played a Madden game since the '01 version. Last year I had no plans of getting Madden but I ended up coppin because I had extra in my pocket when I went to get Until Dawn. Last year's Madden had better passing mechanics. I didn't like the franchise mode and after awhile I just stopped playing it.

I think EA could do so much more with Madden but they keep finding ways to rehash ideas from previous Madden games or don't present any new ideas at all. I doubt I'll be coppin Madden this year I'm about to stop coppin 2k on release day a well.

Yup the last Live game I bought on PS2 were '05-06 and both were the exact same game and I said I wouldn't be buying anymore Live games. Been playing 2k games since 2k7.

I did get NBA Live '15 for $14 on PSN through a EA publisher's sale. The problem with Live '15 was it just was a straight up arcade game when it came to shooting at will with no defensive reinforcement on the other side of the ball.

Didn't the 2k team leave EA due to the creative differences ? The 2k devs wanted to make 2k EA the basic live so they bounced

iirc Mike Wang left 2k to go work for EA, got there and saw it was a clusterfuck and went back to 2k

2k >>>>> EA...the only thing EA does decent is battlefield

 

[dontdiedontkillanyon]

The only basketball games I've ever played have been the NBA Jam and NBA Street games which were brilliant. They should just go about reviving the Street series... and the whole EA Sports Big stable while they are at it.

Fuck

 

[scrapper1]

NBA Live 16 sold just 250,000 copies worldwide. When you consider it’s primary competition NBA 2K16 sold 7.29 million, it’s clear drastic measures were in order.

Sheesh @ the sale numbers comparison.. it's Karma.. EA bought the NFL licence to eliminate competition, forcing 2K games (at the time Visual Concepts) to kill their pretty damn good NFL 2K franchise. Fuck NBA Live.. don't feel sorry for them one bit. Wouldnt take a copy of that game if it was free. Good riddance.

NBA live has been cancelled for at least a decade now...it just took a long time for the developers to catch on
